Wallpaper - Abstract Stems I

Designed by Cheryl Warrick, our Abstract Stems I wallpaper brings together curving, olive-green vines and bold, stylised pink blossoms set against a dark, textured grid backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between organic movement and structured geometry: the playful, hand-printed look of the petals and leaves softens the dark background grid. Printed to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical texture in the paper that complements the graphic character of the artwork.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as a focal wall in a living room, dining space, or bedroom. The dark grid grounds the pattern, while the vibrant pink blooms add energy across the wall. Because the stems weave horizontally and vertically with generous scale, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the rhythm of the motif to unfold fully. In a hallway or entryway, it creates a welcoming, graphic introduction to the home. The contrast between the deep background and the bright floral forms holds its clarity across different lighting conditions, looking bold in natural daylight and intimate under warm evening lamps.

Styling it

To style this wallpaper, we suggest keeping large surrounding elements relatively quiet so the expressive motif remains the focus.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, natural wood tones such as oak or walnut to complement the earthy olive greens in the stems.
• Echo the dark grid with slim black metal accents in lighting fixtures, mirrors, or shelving frames to tie the room together.
• Choose neutral upholstered furniture in cream, off-white, or soft charcoal, allowing the vivid pink flowers to provide the main pop of colour.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a dark charcoal grid backdrop, mossy olive-green foliage, and punchy magenta-pink blossoms with fine dotted accents. For adjacent walls and trim, we like working with soft off-whites or pale stone tones to provide a clean, bright contrast against the dark background. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere, a deep charcoal or forest green on adjoining walls wraps the room in rich colour. Subtle dusty rose or terracotta accents in cushions and ceramics also connect naturally with the floral tones without overwhelming the space.
